Good video but sad to see Autocar going down the route of force-feeding advertising before you can watch the clip. The new Golf looks a great car but have to say red does it no favours - a nice metallic would have been better.

I'm sorry, but this is a free website and you've been generously given a free video review. If you can't stomach a minute of free advertising then you're free to not view the video. Someone has to pay for it afterall.

+1 sometimes I wonder what people do for living to complain. Give out money and earn none?

In response to both Hellbound's and jer's comments, there is no option given to skip the advert - which some sites do provide. Furthermore, I have better things to do than sit and watch adverts for products I'm not interested in. Both of you clearly are happy to watch adverts on Autocar - good luck to you, I'm pleased for you both.

I've stated my opinion on the use of adverts on the site - you may not agree or like it but there's simply nothing you can do about it... except retort again. Idiots.

I run adblock on google chrome. Not only does it stop adverts appearing on the web page, which I expected, it also blocks ads in videos, which I didn't. I see no ad before the Golf Review, and when watching TV on the ITV Player, Channel 4 on demand etc I don't have to watch the ads there either.

When there's an ad break, I get the closing credits, followed immediately by the opening credits without the intervening 90 seconds of adverts.

Bang on. Google has a crime to answer for with their everything free policy as now nobody wants to pay for anything online. They give you it free and steal your soul by the back door... Do no evil my @rse.

+1 bit of a tangent ! the" internet Sales tax" also known as google add words pays for giving the rest for free. Distorts the whole market and is evil.

yes your right the interie is really good for it class but this is the new verson of the golf and it looks pretty much exsacly like the last model so normal people might not know its a new model and i dont like that
